Migrating to a Larger Disk with Rémy
Disk usage is a constant concern for stakers and node operators. The blockchain data keeps growing each day with new transactions and states to store. Stakers and node operators are mainly those responsible for storing this data. During the life of a staker or a node operator, it is likely that you will need more space for this concern. Migrating to a larger disk might become the last solution for some.
This video tutorial is meant for people with little or no experience migrating to a larger disk. It will show you step by step how to check your disk usage, which solutions are possible to manage disk usage, which tools you will need to migrate to a larger disk, and the process of migrating to a larger disk. It will assume you are using a modern Linux distribution to run your staker or node operating system. Many of these instructions and steps are possible on Windows or macOS, but this is out of scope for this video tutorial.
